    The Eleventh First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony will be held in Cambridge, MA, on Thursday, Oct. 4, to honor scientific achievements that cannot, or should not, be reproduced, and you're still talking about the worst terrorist attack in recorded history that occurred just over three weeks ago???? GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    The scientists winning these prizes could give a damn about what the bodies of 20,000+ dead people think. No wait, actually they couldn't.

    Moderator: read the damn article before you go modding people down. One of the ceremonies is a 60 second genuine wedding. If you don't agree with my sense of humor then I could understand flamebait or troll although I wouldn't think they would be deserved. Funny would be appreciated, but I'm DEFINITELY not offtopic, asshole.
